"The company's first quarter 2012 outlook does not incorporate a new release from Blizzard Entertainment, but its calendar year 2012 outlook anticipates AT LEAST two releases from Blizzard Entertainment"

Diablo 3 - Target Q2 (lol!)
WoW:MoP - Summer 2012

That means there is very high chance that HoTS will NOT be released this year, beta will probably last for 3-4 months then ~2 month break between end of beta and release, and beta wont start before WoW:MoP beta ends (around May-June), so easy math and if they doesn't have any delays (it Blizzard ofc they will lol) then it should be released in December, otherwise 2013.

This could either be really good or really bad.
Really bad seems the most likely.

You can honestly see which investment firms are involved with substantial amounts of money or not here if you just look at how intelligent/dumb the questions are^^

The next blizzcon is in 2013. That would be sick if they haven't released it by then

You are just guessing. According to a blizz guy on twitter, MoP is far from release.

It's kind of baffling how people think HotS will take at least 1 year more than their 18 months estimate but fully believe that a WoW expansion can't take more than 18 months because years ago they said they would like to release those that often.

They don't want to release an expansion of SC2 yet. They have chosen to let the existing balance survive for longer while trying to grow esports with SC2.

I think its good for the SC2 esports scene.... because an expansion will only mess up a good thing. Why rush it.

The difference is that WoW represents a LOT more money for blizzard than sc2, and is reaching the end of its life cycle, so they have much more incentive to keep people playing for a little while.
